    Data Mining Models - Tom's Ten Data Tips
    What is a model? A model is a purposeful simplification of reality. Models can take on many forms. A built-to-scale look alike, a mathematical equation, a spreadsheet, or a person, a scene, and many other forms. In all cases, the model uses only part of reality, that’s why it’s a simplification.

    Direct Mail and Leaflets:

    The Royal Mail offers some free lifestyle and demographic targetting services based on postcode sectors, but these will only be of use if your proposed drop is 50,000 items or more.

    The Leadership Choice
    Every home and every organization has structure. Structure is the invisible field that influences behavior. Systems expert Peter Senge of M.I.T. defines structure as “choices made over time.” Choices made over time becomes the “way we do things”. The way we do things comes from the way we think--our beliefs, assumptions, an
    A) Background

    Unfortunately local newspapers - relied on for so long as the mainstay of event publicity - are beset by falling circulations and deteriorating editorial quality. The old discussions about paid papers versus free papers seem very dated - now it is more a question of trying new ways of attracting visitors to events.

    B) Today’s Publicity Plan

    What you do will of course depend on your budget and who you want to attract. If you are serious about publicity you will at least consider carefully the following elements:

    Posters:

    Can be displayed in shop windows, on roadside verges (you may need council permission), on community/parish noticeboards and other suitable sites. Remember to take them down after your event - nothing turns off the public more than out-of-date posters which can rightly be defined as litter. A4 posters can be printed up on a home printer - but remember not to try and squeeze in too much detail - your graphics and type should be large.

    Local Media (Advertising and Editorial):

    Newspapers

    No longer the only ganme in town of course, but still worthwhile. Two smaller adverts in What’s on over two weeks may well get better results than one larger one.

    Radio and Television

    You’ll need to think of a good angle to get editorial coverage

    Parish and Community

    Often cheap to advertise, and hungry for editorial copy provided it really is about local people or for a local cause.

    Specialist Media:

    If your event concerns fund-raising for a particular sector charity, or is likely to attract enthusiasist for a particular interest, then don’t forget to let any specilist magazines know well in advance. If suitable, you could suggest discounted entry or some other benefit to the editor as a Reader offer.

    Inuit Eskimo Soapstone Carvings as Corporate and Cultural Gifts
    One of the unique ways about Canadian organizations is their choice of corporate or cultural gifts. In many cases for both companies doing corporate business and political organizations conducting cultural affairs internationally is the use of Inuit Eskimo soapstone carvings from the Canadian Arctic as gifts.
